'''Giant brown recluse spiders''' are [[giant animal]] versions of the common [[brown recluse spider]] who inhabit [[savage]] [[temperate]] broadleaf [[forest]]s. While their original counterparts are [[vermin]], these [[creature]]s are over three times bigger than a [[dwarf]], and as large as a [[giant cave spider]]. While they aren't particularly aggressive, giant brown recluses will attack if provoked, which can quickly lead to the death of dwarves due to the spider's [[Syndrome|venom]] and immunity to [[No Pain|pain]] and [[No Stun|stunning]]. Their existence in a biome is marked by the presence of their [[web]] on the surface. Unlike giant cave spiders, however, giant brown recluses are unable to spew web as a form of combat, making them considerably easier to kill.
+
Giant brown recluse spiders aren't especially aggressive, but when sufficiently provoked they tend to be very nasty, ripping off dwarves's limbs with ease and letting them bleed to death.

Giant brown recluse spiders can be captured in [[cage]] [[trap]]s and [[Animal trainer|trained]] into [[pet]]s, possessing the standard giant creature pet value. They are born adults and can't be turned fully tame. While [[Silk farming|farming silk]] out of them may come to mind, it's not as good an idea as it sounds; their silk possesses normal [[item value]], they only produce web sporadically and don't shoot it in huge quantities like a giant cave spider does, and they are extremely short-lived creatures, only living from 1 to 2 years max. All of it makes them a very poor choice for silk production, though you can always [[butcher]] them instead. Like other giant beasts, they are are exotic [[mount]]s.  
+
Their venom is as dangerous as normal [[brown recluse spider]]s, but it takes several hours to take effect, is localized to injected area, and most of the bites tend to rip off limbs, making envenomation a bit pointless.
  
−
Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] giant brown recluse spiders for their ''venomous bite''.
+
Unlike [[giant cave spider]]s, giant brown recluse spiders only produce [[web]]s sporadically (like web-weaving [[vermin]]), live for a maximum of two years, and produce silk with the same value as mundane spider [[web]]s, making them a very poor choice for [[silk farming]].
